PLANNING IN
POSTMODERN TIMES

THE RTPI Library Series
Editors: Cliff Hague, Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland
Robin Boyle, Wayne State University, Michigan, USA
Robert Upton, RTPI, London, UK
Published in conjunction with The Royal Town Planning Institute, this series of leading-edge texts looks at all aspects of spatial planning theory and practice from a comparative and international perspective.
The series
•

explores the dimensions of spatial planning and urbanism, in relation to people, place, space and environment;

•

develops the theoretical and methodological foundations of planning;

•

investigates the relationship between theory and practice;

•

examines the contribution of planners to resolving social, economic and environmental concerns.

By linking planning to disciplines such as economics, anthropology, sociology, geography, environmental and urban studies, the project’s inherent focus on sustainable development places the theoretical and practical relationships between social, economic and environmental issues in their necessary spatial context.
